Walkers

Seems like this company I work for might have finally gotten their comeuppance. Just yesterday all the Asian mechanic's, around 100 of them, headed into the work head office. And demanded a meeting with all the head guys. Head of the regional operation, head of finance, HR, recruiting, etc. And basically told them,

"We have all been on at you regarding our pay increase that was due to happen last June. The one we never got. Well, several other companies in the region are offering jobs to all of us, with a monthly pay which is US$400 more than you currently pay us. So either you increase our money to around what those companies are offering us, or we all walk"

Brilliantly timed. As work has just laid off all their contract certifying engineers. Those guys are massively experienced and trained personnel. The core staff here have not got enough people of their level to fill the voids. So having cut out their certifying engineers, they now face losing ALL of their mechanics. And if they don't sort out my colleague's & my, soon to be 8mth outstanding pay. We will walk too. Leaving them with an empty hanger filled with broken aeroplanes & evil managers.

Thou if history is anything to go by they will probably not have learnt anything for this.
